It is with very heavy hearts we share the devastating news of the passing of one of our much loved and respected teachers, Mrs Gallacher. Sarah will be sorely missed by both staff and pupils at Arbroath Academy and our thoughts are with her family at this time.
Merry Christmas to all pupils, staff and to everyone that has worked with us during 2019! We look forward to seeing you all again in 2020! Hope you all have a great time over the holidays!
